Description:
------------
Hello, I would like to use "php -a" (php cli interactive mode) and
input via a fifo.

it seems that while using it with a Character Device / Terminal.
it will behave accordingly.

but while piping its stdin .. it won't interact - it will block its
stdout.

due to the fact it is an interactive mode, I can only assume its a
misbehavior, I wouldn't expect interactive mode to block.


Reproduce code:
---------------
1. mkfifo fifo
2. cat fifo | strace php -a

3. cat > fifo
<?php echo "Hello World"; ?>

4. strace will reveal it been read, but nothing will be written back
unless about 8K buffer stack is full, or EOF.



Expected result:
----------------
I expect "interactive mode" not to block while piping its STDIN.
(without a Character Device / Terminal)


Actual result:
--------------
It would block unless EOF reached OR about 8K buffer is filled up.

and only then, it will write back to stdout.
